It's been a good experience, but quite disorganised
My time has been good so far, and I really like the workshops that are provided on my course
Overall it has been a very good place to learn and have fun
It has been amazing and I do not regret going to uni. The lecturers are super supportive in helping get a job after uni. I think getting a job will be hard, but I have the right skills that I wouldn't have had before. There is loads of equipment to help all students such as cameras etc. Great overall.
Love it! The best thing about the course is the design aspect and the support we get from tutors. Code is amazing at what they offer for accommodation, so I would rate them very highly! All of the clubs and societies on offer sound good, but I haven't joined any. The uni offers some support for career choices, but they are unsure of design jobs.
Challenging at times, but an overall rewarding experience. I really like that my course offers practical as well as theory to learn about the business fully. When it comes to going out in the town there is a lot to do such as gym, shopping and restaurants. There is a ot of suport from the uni and the SU are friendly and respectful.
Amazing experience so far. The best aspect of the course is that we get to go on trips. I really don't get the union if I'm honest and there are NO support services available for students...
Great course, great accommodation, good city to live in as well. The best aspect of the course is the design content and the job prospects are really good, because the course is so specific. There needs t be more eating areas and spaces, but otherwise the facilities are okay. The union have barely anything to do with us.
I have loved every minute of my course! I really love that we have dsign freedom and constant staff support. The accommodtion is great location and good value, within walking distance which helps with heavy bags! The uni would benefit from more varied eating options. My course is really time-demanding so I've not had time to join any clubs or socs.
I love DMU, I love being in Leicester and everything about student life here! DMU is somewhere I hadn't heard of before I applied for a place, but I'm so glad I did my research and found this hidden gem.
Leicester is a truly diverse city and De Montfort University reflects this. Thoroughly enjoyed my first year, made lots of friends, supportive lecturers and state of the art facilities.
Such a friendly and welcoming feel on campus, felt like home straight away! Loads of exciting new developments happening on campus too. The library is top notch, everything you could possibly need and friendly staff on hand to help if you need it.
I study Marketing at DMU and I love the uni. The Business & Law faculty is a new modern building with great facilities, the whole campus is situated in the centre of town as is the accommodation so you're always a short walk from wherever you need to be. There's so much going on both at the uni and in Leicester - Sports, Comedy, Gigs, Theatre etc. it's a great place to be.
Overall the uni experience has been more than I could've hoped for . I have thrown myself into any new things the university could throw at me and have enjoyed every minute
love how diverse DMU is and how many different opportunities there are around the university. i also like how close everything is from the gym to the town centre all within a 10 minute walk!!
I love DMU. The minute I stepped on campus on moving in day a year and a half ago, I felt comfortable, safe, and at home. This university has given me so many opportunities that I wouldn't of otherwise been able to do. The tutors are all experts in their fields, and so are always eager to give advice and help out. The SU always has something going on, which makes it difficult not to resist joining in. Overall, it's just the perfect university for me.
I love De Montfort University. Everything is near to each other making it easy to access, its right in the city centre so you can walk to the shops at any point you need or want to. Also the staff are very friendly and give you lots of guidance. I am studying Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic science and this is an amazing course. It is really interesting and practical although I am hard at work a lot of the time. I feel like it is definitely worth it and would recommend DMU and specially the course to anyone.
The Campus Itself is lively, with a great student union, cafes, green areas to sit with friends and have a bbq etc. Close by to a river. Everything is in one campus so that you have that nice student "Bubble" feeling. Fine Art building is old but spacious with good size studio spaces. There are plans I think to build a new fine art building so who knows what the spaces will be like then... The tutors are all practitioners themselves and have a great deal of experience in fine art themselves. Do not expect them to applaud you constantly, you will be in for a rough ride of critical judgement, (essential for the fine art world). The job prospects in Leicester are BAD. On the up hand there is a diverse culture and you will learn lots about different types of people. Nightlife is quite good, if you research where to go. Food is quite good. Accommodation is nice, modern and well price
4.4
Although, as a nursing student I don't have much time for joining clubs/socieites and I only use the food area of the SU. I like Leicester for taking long walks in different parks and overall I would recommend coming here
